Fallbacks don’t work when you use \iffontchar to check if the character is in the font
even though it is available in the fallback font.

\definefallbackfamily [testfont] [rm] [DejaVu Serif] [range=0x25C6]
\definefontfamily     [testfont] [rm] [TeX Gyre Pagella]

\setupbodyfont[dejavu]

\starttext

◆ : \checkedtextchar{"25C6}{{\tttf ??}}

\switchtobodyfont[testfont]

◆ : \checkedtextchar{"25C6}{{\tttf ??}}

\stoptext
